Key Points:

The fruit God designed the church to bear is disciples. - Tony Morgan

It doesn’t matter if people show up on Sunday and give their money if you’re not sharing the good news and people aren’t experiencing what a new relationship with Christ is all about. - Tony Morgan

When your church goes multi-site, if you are a healthy church you will replicate healthiness and if you are an unhealthy church you will replicate unhealthiness. - Tony Morgan

God designed leadership to be team based. Anyone of us in isolation does not reflect the body of Christ. - Tony Morgan

Work is infinite; you have to choose the work that matters most. - Joseph Sangl

Sometimes, for a church to get to a place of health, they have to go through a time of healing. - Matthew Garrison
